DEVICE FOR TAKING APART TUBE BANKS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: loading-unloading machines. SUBSTANCE: device has a container, a carriage having a mechanism for its moving in two mutually perpendicular directions, a gripping member mounted on the carriage and a piece-by-piece separation member. To take apart a tube bank quickly and surely, the tube container is liftable and the gripping member has two gripping jaws 15 and 16, of which the first is rigidly mounted on carriage 2 and the second one is mounted on power-driven lever 17 to be introducible into tube 14 from its end side. The piece- by-piece separation member has loose rollers 5 mounted on power-driven rotatable single-shouldered levers spaced one after another along a horizontal axis running in parallel to the container and bound to each other to be movable along the axis. The loose rollers are cantilevered each on one of the single-shouldered levers to be placed above the container and being movable at the initial position relative to its end face, above which a carriage is mounted having a gripping member. EFFECT: higher performance in taking apart tube banks. 2 cl, 4 dwg
